While Times Now can rake in the moolah with innovative branding avenues, the products too can identify fancy hashtags being floated by news channels that have a characteristic to push their product’s branding further.

Sample these:

#RupaBanianEndVIPRacism

#BaygonKillingAScam

#ArielMinisterDisappears

#LaysCheatingTheChildren

#BrittaniaGoodDayAccheDinForMPs

#AmbujaCementsRamSetuStays

#Windows8TonightWithArnab

Meanwhile digital media marketing consultants have welcomed the revolutionary move by Times Now and a premier management institute in Ahmedabad has even planned to start a specialization course for Post Graduate Diploma in Hashtag Branding and Digital Marketing with Arnab Goswami as their honorary Director and consulting faculty.

Alternatively competitor news channels have also cashed in on the hashtag branding opportunity and have devised their own innovative ones.
